For this project we'll be studying real issues in our communities as it relates to water quality. Just think, in your teams you'll be researching as active scientists discovering ways we can improve our water and we will also be creating a plan of action to improve our communities! We will produce an Animoto as teams that helps answer our compelling questions we will design and collect research to answer. Check out this sample Animoto to forward think about your technology products!
This week's goals: Do you have a running document in your Quip folder to share research links + synthesis of your ideas that are specifically about advocacy/the issue you're studying?
Did you finish designing your compelling question?
Week 1: Journal Entry (Have you completed this week's journal prompt in Quip?)
Extra Readings:
Wake STEM: Continue reading excerpts of The Ghost Map & informational texts on Cholera epidemic.
Task #2: Multimodal Data Representation Tool (Friday)
Task #3: Finish up labs
SNA Students:
Task #1: Data Collection labs with Ms. Imari & Ms. Baldwin! :o)
Task #2: Continue contributing to claims/evidences guide
Task #3: Discuss research using Quip w/ your international partners
This week's goals: Complete all week 2 labs. Are you sharing your research using Quip? Wake STEM, did you finish your Target Data Sets?
English
Task #1:Gather & Analyze Sources.
Make sure to cite your sources in APA format.
You will be creating an annotated bibliography. Follow the guiding documents to help you create your annotated bibliography with your team this week.
Task #3: Animoto Tutorial (start gathering images & determine data to add to your Animoto), (On Friday--combined time-block for Wake STEM only)/ continue Claims/Evidences Guide/ Continue Target Data Sets This week's goals: Are you sharing your research links, synthesizing what you learn, and engaging in a dialogue on Quip to help each other understand what you've learned? Can you form conclusion to help you write evidence based paragraphs about your research?
Week 2: Journal Entry (Have you completed this week's journal prompt in Quip?)
Everyone will be in different parts of your creative processes. Complete the tasks listed below in whichever designated time block you are able.
Task #1: Are there holes in our data? Additional labs as needed.
Task #2: Finish polishing claims/evidences guide.
Task #3: Finish polishing Animoto Task #4: Chat w/ group about the way you will present your project Task #5: Receive feedback from coaches & teachers in a dry-run on October 30 in the commons (STEM only). Adjust and improve as needed and consult w/ international partners.
This week's goals: Have you finished your claims/evidences guide & your Animoto? Do you know what information/what you will talk about at our showcase?
Week 3: Journal Entry (Have you completed this week's journal prompt in Quip?)
Finalize any remaining parts of your project! It's showcase week!!! Dress Rehearsal for Wake STEM on Nov 3rd @ The Friday Institute! Project Showcase w/ STEM & SNA!!! Nov. 4th @ The Friday Institute & via teleconference! :o)
Week 4: Journal Entry (Have you completed this week's journal prompt in Quip?)
